Patient stories from our providers in Italy
Across Italy, individuals living with tinnitus are finding meaningful relief through treatment with Lenire. This collection of personal stories from patients in cities like Turin, Padua, Florence, Milan, and Ferrara highlights the real-world impact of the device.
Nicole Podio – Turin
“My experience with the Lenire device has been much better than I expected. The origin on my tinnitus is unclear, it just started one day, and proceeded to get worse until it became an inhibiting factor in my daily life. I tried to ignore it and hoped it would go away, but after two years I was having severe trouble sleeping, functioning during the day, and communicating with people. It seemed like the noise in my head was louder than everything else. I was ready to find a solution.
I found out about Lenire from an article in the newspaper, and after viewing the published scientific research, decided to contact my local Lenire provider to see if I was a good candidate for the device. After undergoing the required tests, it was determined that I was near the limit of the parameters for treatment, but not over them.
As a busy mom I did find it somewhat difficult to create space in my schedule for two half hour sessions per day, but in the end, with some effort I managed. My doctor made it clear that consistency was a priority for successful treatment.
Towards the end of my six month treatment, I noticed great improvement. On some days, the ringing in my right ear was almost imperceptible, and in my left ear the volume was much reduced. I do still hear it, but most importantly, I can focus on other things now, and although I still have tinnitus, it is no longer debilitating like before.
I’m thankful that Lenire has made such an improvement in my life, and hope that others are able to get the same relief that I have from this treatment.”
Domenico Ruzzene – Padua
“I have been suffering from bilateral tinnitus (medium severe) for four years and I have tried everything to find relief. Finally, in October 2024, thanks to Dr. Accordi and audiologist Barbara Ranzan, I started the journey with the Soothing device.
After 6 months, the perception of tinnitus has significantly reduced and coexistence has become more bearable. There are days when I don’t feel tinnitus and the tests to verify its perception, which I undergot, confirm it.
I recommend this path which must however be followed with great constancy and determination.”
Marco Torre – Florence
“I wanted to share what my experience with LENIRE has been.
During the treatment I have to say that I was skeptical, but in the end I found an improvement. I can’t call it a clear improvement, but I definitely noticed it.
Several months have passed since it ended and I have had a worsening of the perception of tinnitus, so now I would like to do a course of treatment again, confident that I will get better again.”
Jessica Torquati – Padua
“I have been using LENIRE for 5 months to be able to live with tinnitus. I must say that it is a valid support both to mask the annoyance of tinnitus and emotionally it has a relaxing effect.
Tinnitus is something that upsets you because it doesn’t hurt you physically but it is a subjective perception that only you can manage, Soothing can help you in this sense to find a way. To me, the perception of tinnitus has lowered a lot in recent months, I add that I have also done research work, to improve myself, because tinnitus occurred after an otitis of the middle / inner ear, but it was linked to a moment of particular emotional stress, so it went on.
I met Giulio Dehesh and Barbara Ranzan who have always been very helpful, especially if you need help, they’ll always call you back. In particular, Barbara Ranzan supported me at a time when I had a tongue problem. I could call her at any time and this is very important.
Orazio De Filippo – Milano
“I’ve been using LENIRE for about 10 months now and I have to say it has helped me. I still feel the tinnitus, but it doesn’t bother me as much as it did at the beginning. I hope there will still be room for improvement.”
Maurizio Marastoni – Ferrara
I will say that perception is never at the same level, but in general I have realised that even if the tinnitus is present, it is not a danger. The improvement lies in the fact that the sound has evolved and seems a little less annoying.
I would say that after six months of treatment I have noticed a significant improvement. It’s certainly a tiring path but I am able to spend several moments of the day without thinking about it and I am also able to be in quiet environments. I have stopped taking antidepressants as well as the sleeping tablets.
My advice to tinnitus sufferers who want to use the Lenire device?To be consistent and respect the recommendations and schedules of the treatment”.
Notes:
2 The Tinnitus Handicap Inventory (THI) is a common measurement scale for the severeness of tinnitus. On a scale of 1 – 100, a higher score means a bigger impact on quality of life.
